Halloween Thermite   (+2)  [vote for, against]
Make festive pyrotechnics

By adding calcium salts and some potassium nitrate to the standard thermite mix one might achieve vivid Halloweeny orange fire to amaze and delight trick or treaters this evening. Fun for the entire neighborhood!

Survival is never guaranteed, in any situation.

I'm dressing up as an unemployed bum this year. Halloween turned out to be REALLY spooky this year. "Bam, we are letting you go. Bye..."

And on my anniversary too. Crap.

Crap. Sorry blissy.

That sucks, Bliss. Here's hoping for a better tomorrow.

That was certainly unkind of them, Blissy. Clearly their callous decision was from lack of proper holiday cheer. You might suggest some festive Halloween Thermite to them. A Rock Co. specialty, we also offer five other colors guaranteed to alter the morale of any office.

Tell your former bosses that [Max] says they are utter, utter bastards. And that it's their loss.

OK as a fuel ... what would you use as an oxidiser ? Ammonium perchlorate would work.

Hello Blissmiss

Sorry to hear about that.

Write a book. It helps.

And now I'm joining her ranks.

Oh no. RayfordSteele. I'm sorry to hear that. So far I have stayed positive and assumed it was all for a reason, the one I just haven't seen yet.

It was a short stint. I'm getting old and cranky and I cry a lot when I hear about Jews being murdered in their place of worship, and bombs being mailed to 3 presidents and some other random stuff that just gets to me as it does to everyone. I just haven't learned to reign it in yet.

Sounds like good impetus to knock on doors. #bluewave
